Expert Oversight of Your Prescriptions and Treatments
Medication Management & Review
Are you taking multiple medications? Experiencing side effects? Unsure why you're on certain prescriptions? Proper medication management is essential for effective treatment and avoiding complications, yet it's often overlooked in rushed appointments. At Iron Health, we provide comprehensive medication reviews and ongoing oversight to ensure your prescriptions are working optimally, minimizing side effects, avoiding dangerous interactions, and still necessary for your health. Our 30+ minute appointments allow thorough discussions about every medication you take and any concerns you have about your treatment regimen.
Comprehensive Medication Reviews
We regularly review all your medications—prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies—to ensure they're still necessary and appropriate, working effectively for their intended purpose, not causing problematic side effects, not interacting with each other dangerously, and being taken correctly at the right doses. During our extended visits, we discuss how each medication is affecting you, what benefits you're experiencing, any side effects you're noticing, and whether the benefits outweigh the risks. We check for duplicate therapies, medications that may no longer be needed, and opportunities to simplify your regimen. We also ensure you understand why you're taking each medication, how to take it properly, and what to expect from treatment.
Personalized Treatment Optimization
Medication management isn't one-size-fits-all. We carefully consider your individual response to treatments, your lifestyle and daily schedule, your preferences and concerns, your insurance coverage and costs, and your overall health goals when prescribing or adjusting medications. Our unhurried appointments allow time to discuss alternative medications if current ones aren't working well, weigh the benefits and risks of different treatment options, consider whether non-pharmaceutical approaches might be appropriate, and develop medication schedules that fit your life. We're committed to using medications judiciously—prescribing when they're truly beneficial and deprescribing when they're not. We also help you navigate insurance coverage issues and find cost-effective alternatives when needed.
